Chapter 26 Give Grandpa a Watch When they were almost at the entrance of Shangshui Village, Zhou Yimin put out the sweet potatoes and potatoes at the corner. He had bought them on the way and stored them in his backpack at the store. 15000 kilograms of sweet potatoes. The total weight of wild boar and black bear meat was 372 kilograms. According to the previous agreement, kilograms of meat was exchanged for kilograms of sweet potatoes, which should have been about kilograms of sweet potatoes. But in view of the special nature of black bears, he added another two thousand kilograms to Shangshui Village. In fact, Zhou Yimin only spent 150 yuan. This looks like a typical unscrupulous businessman. It's not that Zhou Yimin wants to be a black-hearted businessman, but it's already quite exaggerated in this era. More than ten thousand kilograms of food! Even though they are all sweet potatoes, how could an ordinary person get so many? If Zhou Yimin didn't have the identity of a steel plant buyer, he would never dare to do this.
More than a hundred bags of sweet potatoes were piled there, looking quite spectacular. Not far away, Village Chief Wang had brought people to the village entrance and asked, "He said he would ask the steel mill to transport it here by truck?" "That's what he said." "That's good, since..." Before Village Chief Wang finished speaking, Zhou Yimin leaned out from the corner and said, "Village Chief Wang, this way! The trucks from the factory have a mission, so they will be unloaded here." Hearing Zhou Yimin's cry, Village Chief Wang and others looked over and immediately rushed over there with surprise on their faces. Village chief Wang and others were very happy when they saw the sacks piled up like a hill. "It's okay! I understand. It's a big factory! The production task is heavy." Village chief Wang smiled reasonably. "They were all sweet potatoes, a total of 15000 kilograms. This time, I also told the leader that the villagers were injured in the hunt for the black bear. When the leader heard it, he gave us more." Village Chief Wang's eyes sparkled, and he thanked her with trembling lips: "Comrade Zhou, I want to thank you on behalf of the people of Shangshui Village! This is very important to our village." They also calculated it themselves and found that according to the agreement, there would be only about 13,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes. This is a full 2,000 kilograms more! Two thousand kilograms can save many lives. "Village Chief Wang, don't say that. You are also supporting our steel plant. We are helping each other and benefiting each other! I have nothing else to do. I will go back first." "Okay! You should go back quickly. The commune has sent people to your house to check the water pressure well." Village Chief Wang revealed to Zhou Yimin. Zhou Yimin was surprised and got on his bike and left. Although I knew that the news about the water pressure well would get out sooner or later and become famous, I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Village chief Wang looked at Zhou Yimin's receding back and felt a little envious of Zhoujiazhuang. With such an outstanding and capable young man, no one in the village would starve to death. "Move back quickly. Do you know what to say?"
"Know!" "Well! Then move it back to the warehouse of the village canteen quickly." Village Chief Wang ordered. The villager who broke his leg will definitely be compensated by the village. In fact, the guy's injury was not very serious. He should be almost healed after two or three months of recuperation. The old party secretary of Zhoujiazhuang guessed correctly, he was deliberately playing the victim. The villagers of Shangshui Village are very enthusiastic and do not mind the heavy load. Some people carry two bags at a time. The shadow of food shortage finally dissipated. When Zhou Yimin returned to Zhoujiazhuang, before he even entered the house, his grandfather said to him, "Yimin, the commune has brought people to our house to check out the water well, and there are also some professors. Go to the team leader now, they are waiting to receive you!" "Grandpa, don't worry! I'll move these into the house first." "Oh my! Bringing so many things home? How can we finish them?" The old man then noticed that there were too many things on the bicycle. I have to say that today’s bicycles are very capable of carrying things. Three to five hundred kilograms of cargo can be easily carried. "This bag of potatoes and this bag of corn are for Dachun's family. Grandpa, you can let Dachun and his family carry them back by themselves later. This bucket is peanut oil. Don't be reluctant to use oil when cooking. I have a way to get oil. These two chickens are slaughtered, Grandpa, you can take them back to the kitchen..." The old man was dumbfounded. I wouldn’t even dare to move house like this! He hurriedly carried the two chickens into the house, fearing that others would see him, and shouted in a low voice, "Old woman, come out and help me get the oil." You can’t let others see you eating so much, or you’ll get conjunctivitis. Zhou Yimin returned home with soybeans in one hand and sorghum in the other. He first took out 20 kilograms of soybeans and left them at his grandparents' house so that he could make some soy products when he had time. Grandma also came out in a hurry and was shocked to see so many things. Are you going to stop living in the city and move back to the village? "Yimin..." Grandpa interrupted: "Don't ask yet, just get in quickly." Grandma reacted. They only breathed a sigh of relief after all the things were moved back home and hidden. "Grandpa, grandma! You don't have to be so nervous. After all, I am your grandson and a purchaser for the steel plant. I sent a wild boar and a black bear back to the factory today, which is a great achievement. The factory not only rewarded me, but also allowed me to spend money to buy some soybeans and the like." Zhou Yimin had found an excuse. Sure enough, when the old man and the others heard it, they felt it made sense. "The benefits at the steel plant are great!" Grandma was delighted. Zhou Yimin took out the Shanghai watch and handed it to the old man: "Director Ding of our department rewarded me with a watch ticket. Grandpa, I bought it for you. Try it." The old man was stunned. His eldest grandson bought him a watch.
The old man was so moved that he almost cried. The grandmother pushed the watch back to her grandson with one hand and said, "Yimin, you can wear this watch yourself. You are a buyer at the steel plant, and it is convenient to have a watch to check the time. Your grandfather doesn't need a watch. What does he need a watch for? He's either sitting or lying down at home." "Ah! Yes, yes, yes! Grandpa doesn't need it." The old man was so moved that he was interrupted and came to his senses. He was very satisfied that his eldest grandson had such a thoughtfulness. We have to mention his bastard son. He has been working outside for so many years, but he didn't even buy him a watch. It seems that I have raised my son in vain for so many years. "Grandma, look, I have one too. I commissioned the store to buy this one, so I don't need a ticket." As he said this, Zhou Yimin showed his watch to his grandparents. "Grandpa, take this." When the old man saw that his eldest grandson also had one, he took the watch and was very happy. He put the watch on his wrist, and it fit perfectly. When he saw a fingerprint accidentally left on the watch, he immediately blew on it, wiped it again and again, and stared at the hands on the watch. It's rare! "Yimin, are you hungry? Grandma will cook for you." "Grandma, take a rest and wait for me to come back. From now on, you just wait to enjoy yourself." Zhou Yimin coaxed the old lady. The old lady smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, and she really loved hearing such words. "Okay! Grandma is waiting." Zhou Yimin went out and walked towards the team leader. At this time, the people inside were having a heated discussion. "Professor Chen, is it feasible to drill that kind of water pressure wells on a large scale?" asked the man in the Zhongshan suit. This question is very important, because he knows that many parts of the country are experiencing drought, and the drought situation should not be underestimated. If nothing unexpected happens, the domestic grain production will drop significantly this year. (End of this chapter)
